  1. What did we sign up for with McEneny? This is his overager year, he should be dominant. Good to see some C depth coming up, in Gaunce, Cassels, and Horvat. Could really use another C up with the club right now.
  2. Nerdy white guy looking for short Asian woman.

  3. It's kind of cool that the Comets face the Albany Devils tonight, while we face the NJ Devils tomorrow. Hoping for a 2-0 in this miniseries.

  4. Wow! Sexy goal, he cuts the distance well enough that it doesn't go for icing, and is able to beat the defenseman wide on what would have been an innocent dump-in. Then he just makes Oshawa look silly. Nice effing play!
  5. Might as well be Max Domi talk. Come on guys, Horvat is the better player PERIOD. He's got that swag.
  6. You might be wasting your time with Sweatt as he's not even listed on our prospects page anymore: http://canucks.nhl.com/club/roster.htm?type=prospect People insist that we've retained his rights though his 2007 draft year and 2nd contract status indicate otherwise.
  7. Just context for everyone, I believe this post was still in reference to Domi, correct?
  8. Ya man, it's a tough debate. A lot of money is on the table dependent upon which console will ultimately be more popular and attract the exclusive developers. One of the games that would have swayed me to go the Xbox route, Titanfall, is being rumored to be a limited exclusive on Xbox. Here's the article, though purely speculative: http://metro.co.uk/2013/08/28/ea-hints-at-titanfall-on-playstation-4-3940031/ Going the PS4 route will unfortunately mean missing out on Halo 5 though. We'll see if the new KillZone can compare.
  9. I've been doing my research for the last 2 days or so as to which console I will end up buying, and I could honestly be swayed either way. To simplify it, I view Xbox as having the more appealing titles in Titanfall, and Ryse: Son of Rome, while the PS4 simply has the better specs. I personally have no interest in using the Kinect feature, so the extra 100$ Xbox is looking for seems like a straight loss personally. I like to be anonymous when I game so the share feature built in on the PS4 is unappealing to me. Being an Xbox user, I honestly have no idea of the ps3/4 online culture, in this respect I mean adding friends, creating groups, and private games. As I understand it, the ps+ model is not as easy to network with or play with friends. Additionally, the current systems friends lists and achievements can be rolled forward on both systems - making the xbox appealing in transferring my current gamerscore. The PS4 of course straight out beats the Xbox one in terms of the system itself, with GDDR5 ram (100 GB/sec bandwidth gap), higher clocked GHz (1.75 to 1.6), and better graphics card (Radeon 7870 to 7790). ------ Anyways, I got sidetracked. Above is my current internal debate, but I originally came to this thread to ask, in an open intelligent debate, which system should I go with?
  10. Just watched the highlights from last nights game. His first goal was a nasty poke in, but he kept on it for 4 or 5 wacks. The second goal, he managed to get open and the side of the net and pop it in on the rush. His assist looks like a blast from the point, picked up by somebody in front. I have to say, the Knights are absolutely stacked this year! Horvat, Domi, Zadorov with likely high picks in Tait Seguin, Marner and Dvorak.
  11. WHAT IS THIS FLAMES NONSENSE, PUT ON THE EFFING CANUCKS GAME TSN

      no time to relax the shrimps are on the menu !!!!

  12. The entire CHL is going to be ridiculous this year. With the same level of scoring talent, but the lack of import goalies, I expect the average game to be 5-4 or something retarded. It will be great for Bo's offensive development, and we already know what Shinkaruk can do offensively. Here's to hoping they're both scoring leaders of their teams, but it would mean less than ever before.
  13. Now that Horvat and Shikaruk have made the team, any guesses as to whether they will change their numbers?

      Shinkaruk should take a high number ( >70) and Horvat should stick with 53, it suits him haha

      Just hope Shink doesn't change his jersey number next season as I'm planning on getting his jersey during the Boxing Day sales.

  14. Burrows/kesler team beats out sedins 4-1. Zach Hamil with two goals, santorelli impressive.

      Lappy had some issues in the room apparently .. he was another of AV's fair haired ones who could do no wrong .. he played like CRAP last year ..

      I was a Lappy fan but I think this move is to both freshen up the team and give some opportunity to some young guys.

      i think i am related to lapierre but i wasn't in the decision making meetings for who to keep, so i can't judge gillis and company.

  18. Yay! Ruff is back in it. In all honesty anything but Torts, or Martin for that matter. I rank them 1. Stevens 2. Ruff 3. Blashill, the rest don't rank.
  19. So... I can use my Canadian Tire money at the Senators arena? Sweet.

  20. Thank you! I was waiting for someone who is level-headed. It seems most of the users around here are under the impression that a team with St.Louis, Richards and Lecalvalier in their primes actually required coaching to win a cup. It goes beyond just the media bites that we catch, where one wrong word will end up with Torts flinging poo at the camera. This monkey doesn't coach well, he treats his players like sh t and has genuinely ruined stars like Gaborik and Richards. The success of the rangers has been in large part due to Lundqvist and their impressive young d-corps. I can't imagine the Sedins, with their already relaxed approach to the game could possibly benefit from having a dictator of a coach.
  21. I am genuinely laughing at those that are making a case for Torts. I don't mean that in a mean way, it's just that he's clearly a basket case with a hairline trigger. If we signed him, it would be for entertainment purposes, and to shut up our annoying media.
  22. I kind of like the idea of Torts as an assistant coach with Ruff as head coach. I mean, it'd kind of be like good cop/bad cop with Ruff being the calmer type, and Torts flinging poo every time someone doesn't back check.
